The Sunday Plain Dealer has a lengthy
rLicle endorsing o. T.. Goldman, OF
Ravenna, as candidate for LiepfsnaM
Governor on the Democratic ticket:Sitl
says many true complimentary things,
about Mr. Goldman, be.
sides endorsing him as Standard bred
Democrat fit To register. Ii
Anant this subject our contemporary
the Press says:
w nat " n, we do now? The RE.
PUBLICAN insists that Mr., Goldman
shall not be given the nomination for
Lieutenant Governor"
Now as to that, if the Press will ans
pOse "wili' and .silalP' in the para
graph it will improve the grammar and
speak the exact truth.
zBuG aside from this, you, the Demo-
cratic party, will do" just as you
have done for years, throw thorough
bred overheard and nominate such a
man as Mcbride, Warwick, i'd genus
onne, Ito catch gudgeons" which per
sistently refuse to be- caught. No, sir,
you will not nominate straight Dem
Ocrat like Goldman for Lieutenant
Governor. but political hermaphro-
dite, designed to fool some one. The
Democratic party has neither the
" sand" ner sense to nominate d. G
Goldman or any other strslght Demo
crat for this place. Besides it would
break the record. The heelers and
peelers of of the party have never in
the history of the State permitted a
candidate ON that ticket, for a State
office, from Portage county.
And las Republicans see ft) the
strange thing anout it all is that after
Mr.. Goodman is snubbed, and rubbed
in, he will come home and put on the
harness and pull like q mule for the
ticket Ravenna Republican, June 2
The above tribute to the Democratic
party and to Mr.. Goldman calls for q
few remarkss The PRESS don't brag
much on its grammar, but is consid-
erable" on facts.
Ia reference to the article from the
Pain Dealer, published in the PRESS
last week, we wish 10 say, that it spoke
the exact truth, and the sentiments
therein contained will be cordially en-
dorsed by the Democracy of the 10Th
District. While deprecating any iD-
situations against Messrs. Mcbride
aud Warwick, democratic gentlemen
whose reputation needs no defense
there is a grain of "fire" amidst the
- smoke" of Bro. Meharg's charge thai
the State Democracy have uniformly
overlooked Portage County in the dis
tribution of its favors. There was {
time when a large part of Summit Co
was embraced in Portage, and it ther
ranked as one of the most pOpulOns
influential counties in Ohio. since
the present boundary was established

ever, neither in early days, nor late
nor e,er in the history of Ohio, ha
Portage County had a candidate fo
any Office upon the Democratic Stat
ticket. What is true of Portage Co
in this respect, is also true of the othe
counties in the 10Th District, with
single exception. Without Count.

without any local incentive to keel
